8" Celestron Fastar C8 worth fixing?

I have an 8" Celestron Fastar with a shattered corrector plate. The typical damage (radial cracks from center) that comes from hitting the camera when it is place. The rest of it is good condition. I am wondering if it is worth repairing or should I sell it off as-is. Celestron can sell me a replacement plate for $375 (!) or they will rebuild the entire optics, replacing all three optical pieces with Starbright XLT coated versions for $400 (but it takes 3 months to ge it done). Can one still get a current 8" Fastar OTA? Is there any premium for them that would warrant rebuilding it? I personally have no interest in imaging (and did not get the camera with the outfit) so rebuilding it would be for visual only or for resale. I see an 8" SCT can be had used for as little as $400-$500, but they generally are old enough to not have the XLT coatings. A new tube is around $1000 or so. Any opinions/interest appreciated.

Fix it. A decent used tube as you said is around $500. If you fix it you know it's new and under warranty for $400

Sorry about your corrector plate. I'm thinking about buying a Hyperstar and your post makes me wonder now - how delicate are these corrector plates? Did it take a solid whack on the attached camera to crack the plate?

I'd get it refurbished with the XLT optics. They
are no longer making the 8" Fastar (though places
like Starizona can do a custom Fastar converison).
Probably you could sell it for $800 or $900 after
the refurb as a Fastar with brand new XLT optics
(a new XLT Fastar-converted is about $1200).
You'll still be out a hundred or so for breaking the
corrector, but that probably the best you're going
to do.
